When I ordered a PM8200 piston from MD they told me the same thing. It took a month or so and finally came in. Super nice looking piston compared to the other 3 82cc pistons. I wish we could find their parts source.

He must have not wanted to ship it or I scared him. I offered him his full price plus the cost of shipping and plus $25 for his trouble. He said he would check with the missus on shipping it but then he quit responding. That was several weeks ago. BTW none of my PM800s feel great compared to a PM850 even with the same psi so I would say that the q-port is pretty efficient at bleeding off compression at recoil speed. If it doesn't feel on par with your other q-ports then maybe it is down. Hopefully it just needs running. Ron
My 82cc pistons have all looked super compared to the other makes of pistons I've seen posted on AS. The 8200 must be really nice. Ron

Just a refresher on the 82 cc photos from when Joey came to visit...
Back row L-R SP80, SP81, PM8200, PM805, PM800, DE80, PM850 (Killer Compression) by Joey Taylor
Front row L-R SP80, SP80, SP81, SP81, SP81E, PM850, PM805, PM800, PM800, PM800 (1/2 wrap) by Mark Heimann
My PM805 is now wearing a new clutch cover and one of the 28" brushed finish bars from Customchainsawparts. I have another SP81 now days in case we ever get to retake the group photo.

That was a fun time. Next time, we will get a video of all those idling at the same time.

They all have been worked hard...one has a q-port cylinder...they all run good though.

Ted...I met up with Bryan Plust (bplust) a few weeks ago...did you get your 24 inch hardnose bar yet?
Tried to buy it off him but he said it was yours! So of course I increased my offer

Here's an interesting re-brand of a Mac. Apparently sold by McLeod's hardware stores in Western Canada.

Yes, Bryan is quite envious of your Mac collection. I've been assured my bar is on its way .... Yes, the web cast from Northwest IN is a large one ... lol
I picked this unit up today after days of trying to get in contact with the the seller. It runs but likely needs a carb kit. I guess I don't need to ask about a muffler mod.

Nice pick up, Tim!
Glad you finally connected. Looks better than his Kijiji photos!

Glad to hear you finally got through to the guy. I agree with Lee. Looks better than the seller's pics. Slap a K10-SDC in it and go cut some wood. You want a 24" bar for it?
Yep. PM me.
Hey Tim,
How do you like that Power Fist vacuum pump from Princess Auto?

It works very well. It only does vacuum but I use a compressor for pressure. It does go on sale about 2 - 3 times a year for $20.
I have a few clapped out PM700's in the attic, one runner up in the collection, and some good parts that will allow me to make a couple more decent ones when I get some time again.
I didn't have any decent 10-10 runners and Mark Hosky dropped off three non runners a few weeks ago. Since it was raining on Saturday I decided to strip them all down and put together one good one. I will try to get some photos up in the next few days. Best part of the deal was two had the roller fairlead on the starters and one had the short clutch cover with a chain brake. I will find good homes for the cool parts.

Did the video of the BP399 from the Fall GTG ever git to the site? The linkbucks deal has sure messed up my "lurking"

I have not seen any posted here. We may need to persuade Mike or Mitch to post them on You Tube and watch them there. I pulled the exhaust off the BP399T to have a look, no difference from when I received it, a few light scratches from the test run at the factory.
